Married. at Troy, Mo-, March Sd,
our night agent, Mr.. Henry Elder

something peculiarly striking about
this subject in connection with rail-
read agents at this point. He (the
sgent) may be eve SO impregnable,
but let him once assume the agency
here and he sallies forth somewhere
else and takes unto himself a part
ner. That's not fair and when we
get these old bachelors off, we will
secure the agency for some of u
nice girls.
Quite number of our young people

t'LOYE LAUGHS.'
The Old Story-Press VI. Talbot and
Miss May RenSnaW Married I'm
Mexico Saturday Evening.

For a good many years there lived
in Fulton a gentleman named j. c.
Renshaw, together with his family,
consisting of Mrs. Renshaw. two
daughters and a son Living in the
same place was a young man, we'll
known in this city, named P. M. Tai
bolt. A friendship sprang up between
Mr.. Talbot and MI. Renshaw's eldest
daughter, Miss May, and, as friendly
feelings sometimes do, ripened into
love. Matters went on in this way
for some time, when Miss Reushaw's
father came between the young
couple, and, as he thought, put a stop
to all love-making. But there is an
old saying, about love and locksmiths,
which the LEDGER will omit on &C
count of its antiquity, which again
came true, in this instance, and the
match remained unbroken. The
couple continued to meet each other,
clandestinely, perhaps, and finally,
whether to take his daughter from
the society in which she would meet
Talbot, Or to better their condition in
life, it is not known, but Mr.. Rem
show moved with his family to st
Louis. The separation of a hundred
short miles amounted to nothing
however, and Miss Renshaw left st
Louis the other day, after having
lived there six months, to ''visi
friends in Fulton" At Auxvasse
thirteen miles from this city, she me
Talbot, and together, they came tt
Mexico, Saturday evening,on Gregg
train, stopping at the Windsor. I'm
mediately after supper, the coupl
were driven to the parsonage of th'
nj. E. Church, South, where they wer
married by Rev. E. K. Miller, in th
presence of a few friends, afte
which they returned to the hotel.
Throughout the evening and pei
haps the day before, Mr.. Renshaw
father of the bride, had been IN tn
city on business, not dreaming tina
his daughter was here also, and eve
at the time of the marriage was i
the office of the Central ingo talk
ing with some friends.

A Sad Death.

One Of the saddest, and at the same
time the most unexpected deaths
which has occurred in this city in a
long time, was on last Sunday, when
Smith Spence died at the home of his
father. j. 4. Spence, ON East Monroe
street. Smith was a young man, about
thirty, and who has for some
years been in the employ of the Alton
Wooden Mills Company, at Alton,
Illinois, and formerly Of this city, and
about two weeks ago, came home to
recuperate and take a short vacation,
though he was thought to be by no
c seriously i'll. He was in bed
however, but on Sunday evening was
feeling better than at any time for a
week, when at s O'Clock he suddenly
grew worse, dying in a few moments.
He died from a complication of dis
eases. The funeral took place
Wednesday at 8 O'Clock from the
Christian church, and was con-
Quoted by the Masons, as he belongs
to that order. Smith was a young
man of steady habits and liked by all
who knew him. He will be greatly
missed by his associates.

Natural Gas.

U.s.
To show what the discovery of
natural gas will do for a town, the
LEDGER prints the following from the
Washington pa daily Reporter
Brownsville is wild on the discovery
of gas. Mr.. Chatland informed the
Republican that the Home Gas Com
pany, of Brownsville, has decided to
reject all offers made by foreign cap
italists to buy the franchise of the
company. The capital stock was IN
creased to 100000. The books were
then opened to ascertain how much
of the capital stock the old stock
holders would take. To the surprise
of all it was found that SIP, 900
worth of stock had been subscribed
by the old stockholders alone. Out
slders are offering $50 a share for
the stock to-day, which cost 500
yesterday. A civil engineer began
running a line from the immense
gasser to town this morning. The
Redstone Oil Company made a prop
osition to consolidate with the Home,
The proposition was favorably con.
sidered and the companies will likely
operate jointly. Then the field will
be thoroughly tested for oil.
